Support Project Managers and Senior Project Managers with labor and cost tracking, material procurement and submittals, subcontractor coordination, contract administration, compliance requirements, and schedule management.
Participate in all phases of project delivery, from project kickoff through final closeout.
Assist with estimating, proposal preparation, bidding activities, and business development efforts as needed.
Support employee development and training initiatives by providing input, feedback, and sharing best practices.
Maintain a visible presence on project sites through regular site visits to monitor progress, identify opportunities for improvement, and foster strong working relationships with project teams.
